Your followers already have an inside joke. Here is how to put it on a real shirt.
You've thought about it. A phrase your audience repeats. A joke only your people get. A design you'd wear yourself.
The idea is already there. What's missing is the path from "that would make a great shirt" to a real product, built, priced and sitting in your own store.
This course walks that path one step at a time, with one shirt. Zag, an alien who just landed on Earth and is figuring out merch the same way you are, shows you every step on a real screen:
Pick an idea your audience recognizes, and check it against basic trademark and copyright rules.
Turn it into finished artwork with ChatGPT, as a text design or an original graphic.
Prepare a clean print file, and fix it when Printify flags a problem.
Choose the shirt and the print provider, set the placement, and check every color and size.
Set up your Printify Pop-Up Store and price each variant on purpose, with the per-sale math in front of you.
Quality-check the shirt with mockups and preview, learn how fulfillment and customer issues work, and plan your first sale.
Print-on-demand means nothing gets printed until someone orders. No box of shirts in your closet in every size from XS up. No inventory to count.
What you finish with: an original design, a print-ready file, a first T-shirt product checked in every variant, and a Pop-Up Store set up with prices you chose on purpose.
21 short lessons are planned, and 19 are ready to watch now. Self-paced. Watch on your schedule.
